Hassan Says Germanos' Lawsuit against ISF ‘Big Mistake’

Interior Minister Raya al-Hasan criticized the lawsuit filed by Military Prosecutor Peter Germanos against the Information Branch of the Internal Security Forces, describing it as a “big mistake,” al-Joumhouria daily reported on Thursday.

“From his position as son of the state, how could he file a lawsuit against the Information Branch of the ISF?” Hassan wondered, adding “It is one big mistake.”

Hassan assured that she backs the Information Branch, “let everyone know, I will stand behind the Information Branch until the end. I will not accept any offensive manner against it,” she said, adding that she has no knowledge of the factors underlying Germanos’ decision.

Germanos filed a lawsuit accusing the Information Branch of "disobeying his orders, distorting investigations, and holding suspects beyond the legal detention period.”
